Jen assumes she can escape her past after she testifies against Robert, her human trafficking mogul husband, and enters into witness protection under a new identity. That is until a baby shows up on the stoop of the library where she works, and another man from her past, Tom, appears in her living room. Now she must relocate again under yet another name and memorize a new set of legitimate lies to explain who she is.

When Robert discovers her latest identity, he has other plans for her, such as enslaving her in a Tudor manor in Southern England. The scandalous family secrets she discovers may hold the key to her and the daughter of the manor’s freedom. But first she must tunnel through a myriad of lies, including the dark sin which has held her own heart captive. If the truth is revealed, will it hinder her one chance for happiness?

Briefly, this book is a sequel to Hush in the Storm. I recommend reading Hush first. Not because you can't read this book alone, but because you'd miss a lot in not reading the first one. Legitimate Lies is action packed and has a good message all at once. You get the action you want/need without having to feel guilty about the overall message. Great book!
